Say Hello to Bugs

Bugs is the latest addition to the family. We got her about a month ago and she is about 2 years old. Our biggest fear was how the cat would react to her. Lotty can be a real terror and we were worried that she would attack the rabbit if she was loose in the garden.

Much to our surprise though we found the cat was absolutely terrified of Bugs to the point that she didn’t even want to come into the house just in case the “big eared monster” was around. We had to coax her in with freshly cooked chicken for the first couple of weeks but I’m happy to say I think although wary of each other, they do seem to be getting used to each other more.

Sometimes I’m sure Lotty is too intelligent for her own good and is using Bugs as an excuse to get her own way and be spoilt with better food. She won’t even touch Whiskas now and is on to the Gourmet Pearl foods now.

Say hello to Lotty.

Lotty is our female tabby cat who although looks angelic most of the time is a real terror! Mice beware because if you come into her path you will be eaten. Although she is good with the ducks. Being by a lake we get quite a few ducks on our lawn. Sometimes they will even knock on the front door with their beaks to let you know they are there and they want feeding.

I’m not sure if it is because there are too many of them or if she feels she is out numbered but she tends to stay away from them and is content just to watch them doing whatever they are doing.

Just ordered a Sony UX180P to replace the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet which is now on Ebay. It’s amazing what Sony have done with this. Its a full fledged PC running Windows XP Pro with built in wireless, bluetooth and EDGE so you can connect to the internet pretty much anywhere. Looks really cool and hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. I’ll say one thing for the US, they certainly know how to deliver things quickly.

Promises so much, delivers very little. I bought one of these a while back thinking how cool would it be to wander around the house but still keep in touch with the outside world.

The idea being I could check my emails away from my PC either in the garden, the sauna, on the jetty or even during the adverts on TV in the lounge. At first it looked great but I found that once it had downloaded your emails, unless you read them straight away they would just disappear and there was no way of getting them back. I’m a man and men don’t usually read instruction books so at first I thought I was doing something wrong. I tried to find information about this in the instructions and also Nokia’s website but just gave up in the end.

My Nokia 770 Internet tablet was confined to it’s box and later put up for sale on Ebay. Perhaps someone will have better luck with it than I did.
